My mother is a proud Brazilian. I love visiting my family in Rio; the city and its people are so vibrant and amazing.

I love coming to London and seeing what people on the street are wearing.

I was definitely surrounded by music and fashion at a very, very young age.

Modeling has always played off my D.J.-ing, but it is a fun supplement.

I like to mix British classics, like a great trench, with fun vintage pieces I find in New York. L.A. style is often very relaxed and comfortable, and I appreciate that effortless feel.

Don't take yourself too seriously! You only live once!
